? Lonnbladh Road will be closed to traffic in preparation for construction on the Lonnbladh Road Improvement Project. This project, designed to enhance pedestrian access and safety while addressing flooding concerns, will include the installation of sidewalks along both sides of Lonnbladh Road and the construction of a stormwater system near Greer Road.

? Beginning Monday, construction will begin on Blair Stone Road between Orange Ave. and Paul Russell Road. At 9 a.m., southbound traffic will be detoured at Orange Ave. east to Capital Circle. This traffic pattern is anticipated to last for approximately 45 days.

Following completion of this work, construction will shift between Paul Russell Road and New Village Ave., near the side entrance to the Southwood Village shopping center. During this phase, southbound traffic will be permitted up to Paul Russell Road. Orange Ave. will continue to be used as a detour. Access to the Southwood Village shopping center and other businesses will not be obstructed. The project is expected to be completed by mid-September.

The project's overall purpose is to provide sewer service to properties along Orange Avenue and Blair Stone Road and improve the ability to manage the sanitary sewer system during service interruptions along Capital Circle.
